THE eighth edition of the OECD's Tax Administration Series published shows how tax administrations are increasingly moving to e-administration and using a range of technology tools, data sources and analytics to increase tax compliance.
 
Commenting on the report, Pascal Saint-Amans, Director of the OECD Centre for Tax Policy and Administration said: 

"Tax administrations, much like tax policy makers, are exposed to rapid change through the digitalisation of the economy and the emergence of new business models and ways of working. The data and examples contained in Tax Administration 2019 show how the availability of new technologies, new data sources, and increasing international cooperation are providing new opportunities for tax administrations to better manage compliance, protect their tax base and reduce administrative burdens."
 
The Tax Administration Series, first published in 2004, provides wide-ranging comparative information on the performance of 58 advanced and emerging tax administrations as well as an analysis of the major trends and developments in tax administration. Its purpose is to assist administrations, governments, taxpayers and other stakeholders in considering how and where improvements can be made in the efficiency and effectiveness of tax administration. Together the 58 tax administrations participating in Tax Administration 2019 collected net annual revenues of EUR 11.4 trillion while dealing with the tax affairs of around 810 million personal income tax and corporate taxpayers.
